I had strep a LOT as a kid, and I learned to knit, crochet, touch type, bake, and write Gregg shorthand while I was too contagious to go to school but not feeling bad enough to stay in bed all day.

These days I always hope a sore throat is strep because with strep I can take antibiotics and feel better quickly, but the only thing I can do about a viral infection is rest and eat a lot of mango sorbet.

Sounds like the drugs are working pretty fast on you. Have fun with the potty-training :)
